Find your perfect ride

All Globetrotting holidays are guided by an experienced local team, but every so often, we personally host Globetrotting guided rides.
Globetrotting guided rides take the guesswork out of travelling, allowing globetrotters to truly relax as we ride alongside, taking care of every detail.
Many of our guests are solo female riders who love that we do the hard work for them. For example, when you fly into a far-flung country, we’re there from the get-go. We meet you at a central location, fresh off your international flight, so that you can start your trip right.
Before setting off on our ride, we often spend a night in the capital city. We find boutique hotels in charming suburbs that give a real taste of a place, and because we have limited time in the city, we take you to the very best restaurants, artisans and authentic cultural experiences that trademark that country.
What if your transfer doesn’t arrive on time? What regional airport do you need to arrive into? Where can you find an ATM? Don’t worry about it: we take care of all this and more.
We’re also experienced horseback photographers. With us holding the camera, you can enjoy the moment rather than fiddling around with your own. When you get home, we send through an online album of your journey. This part of the package is priceless.
We make sure you’re thrilled with your horse, the pace of the ride and your saddle.
It’s our job to know what drink you yearn for after seven hours in the saddle, if you have milk in your tea, and to make sure your dietary requirements are met.
It’s our aim to ensure you become intimate with the country’s culture and experience every facet of its people, food, landscape, history and horses – warts and all.
Plus, you’ll be with a group of like-minded travellers who share a love of horses, travelling and adventure and are looking for an experience that is out-of-the-box. It warms our hearts when globetrotters who meet as strangers become firm friends through the ride. It’s a common story.
Those are the reasons you’ll love our Globetrotting guided holidays.
Now without further ado, here is a list of our upcoming Globetrotting Guided Rides.
We can’t WAIT to ride alongside you.

About Steven
Steven began his Globetrotting career in Kenya and has since notched up countless rides from Iceland to Morocco. Steven learnt to ride as a child on the dusty plains of Nindigully in western Queensland. When Steven isn’t in the saddle, he’s trigger-finger-ready to capture the amazingness of Globetrotting via camera and drone. Sometimes, he does all this while wrangling three spirited daughters!

About Laura
Laura is the jewel in our Globetrotting crown! We discovered Laura through an internship in 2016 where she opted to learn the Globetrotting ropes with a trip around Canada and America. Laura grew up on a sheep property near Mudgee in country New South Wales and has been closely connected to equines her entire life. She rides like a BOSS, she’s a 3* eventer and connects with ALL of our globetrotters. We’re super proud to have her in our GT family and she’s an expert at finding your perfect-match riding holiday.

About Aimee
Aimee is a social scientist and marketing genius who thrives on nurturing connection and building communities. Her equestrian journey began early with a heartfelt affection for dressage. After a hiatus involving extensive international employment and adventures, she rekindled her riding passion in 2021, diving into the Western world with a pretty Quarter Horse mare. Giddy up!

About Mercedes
Mercedes is our token Canadian globetrotter, eh. Growing up on Vancouver Island, known more for its rugged natural beauty than its equestrian scene, Mercedes still managed to pursue eventing on the island before venturing off for an equally thrill-seeking career in conservation science. She’s wrangled elk on horseback in the Canadian Rockies and she’s drilled through sea-ice in the High Arctic – and she quit her PhD to join the GT team! Mercedes can now be found eventing with her horse Storm in Queensland. She loves chatting about Canada, canoes, parkas, poutine – and Globetrotting, of course!

About Andrew
Andrew grew up riding on the family farm in Australia and competed in three-day eventing before chasing a career starting young horses around the world. Whilst predominantly working in the English riding world, he has also trained race horses, learnt to rope and rein, and worked as an equine vet tech and breeding specialist. Andrew lives in beautiful British Columbia, and is a dual citizen of Australia and Canada. He now considers himself a part-time cowboy, riding predominantly for pleasure. He is happiest on the back of a horse, high up in the mountains!
